The Executive Committee pcrtccting
the Plan OF Organization.

CHICAGO August 5.-The executive committed of
the new whlsky-pool monopoly were In session all
day yesterday perfecting the plan OF organization
OF the new combine. Assurances were received
from a large number OF dlNillerS west ~ the ohio
River OF their willingness % enter into the new
monopoly and the Indications are that within
thirty DAYS the combination or trust, VIII be es-
tabhshed and In full working order. The capital
OF the Distillers and Cattle Feeders Trust viii
probably be fixed at about s., 0ooCo0, and viii be
apportioned among the members according 10
their capacity or the plant represented. The Shiet
feature OF the combine Is 20 select such houses as
can manufacture the largest amount OF high wines
at the least producing cost ana 70 run these 10
their fun capacity, thus supplying the entire mar
ket and controlling absolutely these two import
ant tclements-productiOn and price. The owners
~ the houses that are closed viii receive prutable
dividends from the managers of the pool and VIII
be relieved or all anxiety regarding the disposal ~
their products A gentleman prominently con-
nected with the new pool said yesterday that fully
- per cent OF the dlstillers west OF the Ohio River
were in favor OF the new trust, and the remainder
would either be obliged TO come In or stand nom
under. The pool, he said, would manufacture
goods OF standard grade and at the cheapest pos
Sible price. and competitors who remained out
would probably experience a cold and comfortless
winter. The general plan OF organization has not
Yet been fully perfected but the executive COM
mittee viii remain In session for couple of day s,
and when every feature has been fully considered
the entire plan will be submitted 10 each member
for approval after which articles OF Incorporation
will be secured.

Young's remarks that his Boone Logan's) charac-
ter needed Investigation replied: "And for you,
sir, / have undoubted proof OF your actions for
the last ten years that VIII hang you" Pistols
were drawn among friends OF both sides and many
an oninouS click WAS heard reSounding through
the courthouse. But the cooking OF the rides OF
the soldiers on guard was heard TO echo along tho
wooden walls OF the flimsy structure. An order
to load was heard from the outside and the sound
OF the muskets told the excited crowd that the
first move on the part OF either party would be
followed by a deadly fire from the troops
horrible affray is reported TO have taken place
yesterday at a place called Dry Creek - miles
from this place. John Taylor, Tim keckton, John
Vance and Elliot Martin were on their way TO court

a gang OF men, masked and armed. They were
halted and their business Inquired into. They re-
fused TO tell, when the maskers opened f1re, and,
after wounding John Taylor and John Vance and
killing Elliot Martin, they rode on. No reasons
are assigned for the killing save that these mems
evidence could have damaged somebody connected
with the late murder OF the young Ldgans. SOL
diers slept In their clothes last night Uhe feeling
Is at q good heat. The strain Is very great, aud
important developments are expected.

STRIKES with which you are SO familiar, are CON-

difficult TO decide yet the rights and wrongs OF

to be fair on its face, at any rate. The Midland

for allowing strike for any cause at fSis moment,

Special Cable Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON August 5.-The naval maneuvers excite
very great interest and some alarm In view OF the
fact that the attacking squadron has captured
and Shelled Falmouth. forced Dover, occupied the
mouth OF the Thames, and would now be sailing
north to shell Harwich, Yarmouth, Hull, Sunder-
land, Tynemouth, &C, except for the arbitrary
rule that ships must remain In possession for ten
hours before they can be considered TO haye
shelled place. In real warfare the destructi1n
OF town would not take half tnat time. Ad-
mlral Hewitt. who appears 10 have been 50 COM
pietely out-mancuvered Is one OF the very best,
mos: capable, aud experienced British command
erS, everybody wonders what his explanation and
justification OF his failures can be. Both the bad
accidents appear to be due solely to riring in the
Nordehfeldt gun-cartridses, from which bullets
had previously been extracted, and the loss OF
weight prevented the automatic supply from
working.

EtA0 1Ox the HfOn1O1t1O01St8s
SHOWED UNDER IN TEXAS BY FROM FORTY 10 EIGHTY
THOUSAND MAJORITY.
The election In Texas yesterday turned upon a
john resolution passed by the last legislature
proposing an amendment to the State cOnstitu-
ton in these words: 'ThS manufacture, sale, and
exchange Of intoxicating liquors, except for me-
dicinal, mechanical, sacramental, and scientific
purposes, is hereby prohibited in the State Of
Texas. The legislature SHALL at the first session
held after the adoption OF the amendment, enact
laws necessary to put this provision into effect"
The legislature holds biennial sessions The next
session will begin January IA, 1889 II the amend
ment had been adopted Yesterday The whisky men
would have about TWO years In which to sell out
and seek more congen1al shores, or. convert their
jugs into plOughs, bacon or dry goods.
A dispatch from Austin says that the result has
been a Waterloo to the prohibitionists: The re-
turns thus far received indicate that their amend
ment has been defeated by majority approx
mating 10000. All the large towns gave maJor1-
ties against the amendment except Fort Worth,
which gave majority OF 1913 for II. The election,
while hOtly contested throughout the State, passed
of quietly. and the best OF order prevailed at the
polls. A later special from Houston says that the
returns indicate that the prohibition amendment
has been showed under by majority OF $4,000.

Abiding TO President Garfield's Case.
ExPERTFBsTIMoNY IN THE LANGsTQS TRIAL
After Two entire days on the witness stand the
examination Of DR.. McIlwaine in the Langston
trial was concluded In Petersburg, Va, last night.
Great stress was laid by the defense on the fact
that the bullet was not found at the post mOrtem
examination of Ruffins body. This was met by
Dr. McIlwaine's citations of many important cases
on record where bullets that had caused death
had never been traced, and President Garreld's
case was tnstanced as one in which the ball was
only found by accident. Other physicians will be
put upon the stand, and the case promises to be-
come one OF celebrity In legal as well as surgi
cal point of view because OF the wide range of
the evidence introduced. 1t is understood that
the defense viii summon all the distinguished
surgeons or Virginia to testify as experts.
